Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electronic ceramics are characterized by their great versatility in electronic and electrical applications, and high-performance electronic ceramics are necessary materials for extreme conditions. Depending on the application and requirements, they are used, for example, as circuit carriers, heat sinks, sensors, actuators, and as active or passive components in different areas. The advancing functionalities of electronic ceramics show the high potential for modern materials science and technology. The development of state-of-the-art high-performance functional ceramics is of great significance for electronic applications, which requires researchers to further explore the multifunctionalities and underlying mechanisms of these ceramic materials.
This Special Issue aims to encourage efforts towards exploring the multifunctionalities of electronic ceramics for practical applications, including the latest progress in the fabrication process, advanced performance, fundamental structures, novel structural strategies, and the relationship between the structures and macroscopic performance of electronic ceramics. Research on state-of-the-art piezo-/ferroelectrics devices, namely, nanogenerators, memorizers, sensors, and transducers, is also encouraged.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
